INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2017 and May 1, 2016 were 17.0% and 12.8%, respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2017 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2016 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns. Also contributing to the lower effective income tax rate in the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2016 was the benefit of certain discrete items, including the lower tax rate applicable to the pre-tax gain recorded to write-up the Company’s equity investment in TH China to fair value prior to the acquisition closing.
